Fall 2025 Children & Youth Classes

All children & youth classes meet Sundays from 9-10 am during Christian Education Hour

Check-in and check-out procedures (new for 2025)

Parents must check-in students in preschool through 4th grade at 9:00am in preschool room 4. Check-out, at 10:00 am, will be in your child's classroom.

​

Nursery (infants) check-in/out will be in the Nursery on the upper level.

​

Students in middle and high school may check in with their classroom teachers. No parent check-in/out is necessary. 

​

Device Free Policy

We enforce a device-free policy for our youth classes. A basket is provided to collect cell phones at the beginning of each class. Students may retrieve their devices on their way out. 

Middle and High School Students

High School Students

Students in grades 9-12 meet for class in the church Library. Paul Reader will be leading students.

​

Middle School Students 

Students in grades 5-8 meet for class in the Youth Room on the lower level of the church. At this level of study, we help young teens and pre-teens look to God for answers to their questions and consider how creeds and confessions are connected to the Bible. We will also focus on who God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the church are, and how to apply this into their lives. The curriculum used is DIVE, from DWELL by Faith Alive Christian Resources

Youth Group

We also offer a middle school youth group (grades 5-8) and high school youth group (grades 9-12) for students. Click here to learn more about youth group!

Little Lambs

Toddlers and Preschoolers

The Little Lambs class meets in preschool room 2. This class features a curriculum that is specifically geared to this age group. The Faith Alive Christian Resources Little Lambs program uses guided play, simple stories and crafts and developmentally appropriate routines to create a safe and loving environment for little ones to learn about God. Toddlers and Preschoolers ages 18 months - 4 year olds will play, sing and learn together. A snack is provided each week as well.

Elementary School Students

2-4 Grade Class 

Students in grades 2-4 meet for class in preschool room 1. This level of child is a curious bunch—they’ve got lots of questions about why and how things happen. This level is designed to give kids time to be still, to wonder, and to reflect on God’s story. Bible stories and scripture from the Gospel will be studied. The curriculum used is WONDER, from DWELL by Faith Alive Christian Resources.

 

K-1 Class 

Students ages 5-7, in grades kindergarten through first grade meet for class in preschool room 3. Kids in grades K-1 are master pretenders, and they get to experience God’s story as they imagine the sights, sounds, and people in it. They will be invited to retell and respond to that story through play, art activities, games, and other experiences. The curriculum used is IMAGINE, from DWELL by Faith Alive Christian Resources.
